You might get a general idea by looking at the Ferrari 360 here:

Now that I see the red one photoshop job, you really need to do the entire housing including the silvery turn signal area to give it a look that's worth the change. It looks incomplete and abrupt.

heres the latest. its not realistic as i had hoped. It looks like the insides of the plastic lens cover it self is painted.
Oh well gives you some idea of a totally painted lens and reflector assembly. I have dissassembled and painted several civic's and other hondas. they look great. I am concerned about this taking away from the meaness of the front of the car.



or maybe it looks meaner.

I guarantee that it'll look tiiiiiight. I'd do it if someone who knew how to paint those housings lived in Seattle. Oh, well. Go for it.

FULLTHROTTLE,

It looks like you had the front lip spoiler molded onto the front bumper. Was it expensive to do?

Thanks,
